Well he posted deviant arts rules, and it does seem that Frankens would violate Deviant Art's ToS. Though given that I'm only one user and there were frankens on deviant art long before I joined, I fail to see why I'm really being singled out here, but never the less, It seems the reason I moved my stuff there in the first place is now useless because I likely will get a ban if he reports me to a mod. So does anyone know a good place to host art, because image-shack, and photobucket lose my photos too frequently for my taste.

Try Majhost. It's a little more organized. Though I'd also suggest getting a Dropbox.

Whoa, whoa whoa guys. I appreciate the sentiment but let's not go trying to make this guy's life hard. I should probably clarify, that I submitted this art to a Gundam group and he's an Admin. SO I understand his position. He's looking out for the best interests of his group. He asked me if it was ok if he run it by the mods which I said no to, but as of now I'm inclined to believe he'll be running it by them anyway. Still my intention is NOT to make trouble for this person so please refrain from commenting on my Deviant art page trying to rally me some support. x.x I feel that will just make a bigger issue of this than is necessary, and while I do enjoy some of the features to keep people from stealing my frankens that Deviant art provides I'm also not looking to start a cyber war over this. I just wanted some alternative spaces to Deviant art, and I appreciate everyone that has supplied suggestions.

I've had Frankens up on Deviant Art for years, as have other people. I wouldn't say they're illegal as they're just the same as any other image collage using pictures from various sources. All I can say is don't claim credit for it and make sure to credit the original authors. Even if you don't know who the author is, leave a footnote in the description of your franken emphasizing the fact it's a piece of work that was put together from art made by others.

Also, there's not much you can really do to prevent others from stealing or using the frankens. It's not like you own the art you've used for it, so you can't really put a claim on it.

So long as you make all that clear, I don't think you'll have any problems.

there's really no point in you having to leave because of this one guy and as you can tell you already know there's a few mecha talk heads over on DA. Personally I say stay with DA if by some chance a mod does contact you about frankens call them out on all of the other frankens and any demotivational posters on DA.

Well, the good news is this does appear to have blown over and things are getting back to normal. Also, as a side note I've had some inspiration lately so check back because I feel a franken coming on.

Yeah I read that but I couldn't quite figure out what they looked like or how they operated since turret in my mind is rather stationary... But if that's what they are, then fair enough. Do they have any particular new attributes that would warrant the "beam turret system" name?
